Peninsula Bangkok review 

What I Like About Peninsula Bangkok Hotel

In fact, there are plenty of hotels that all have stunning views of the Chao Phraya River 

But small touches elevate destinations like the peninsula above their competitors.

How so? Well from my experience when when I visited this hotel

The poolside staff always bring you a glass of ice water after you return to the sun lounger.

And the thing that amazed me the most about this hotel is that in a short period of time they close the pool to treat the area from mosquitoes

Every little detail is what adds a luxurious touch to the service.

Because of the excellent customer service that made me revisit our second visit to the hotel, this time with our 4 year old child, 

It was a luxurious experience like no other, and we look forward to visiting it many times in the future.

 What I don’t like about Peninsula Bangkok Hotel 

Located on the western side of the river, distant from Bangkok’s main attractions, is one of the Peninsula Hotel’s drawbacks that some visitors may find problematic.

 The hotel’s V design can also be annoying for some guests, as it allows the neighbors to see, and there are some rooms that may be relatively small, making it difficult to store luggage comfortably.
